- Comment on Bluesky is more open than you think. 2 days ago:
Is there any way to connect the bsky android app to the atproto.africa relay or a third party appview that uses the atproto.africa relay? I wouldn’t mind using bsky more if there was a clone of the android app that doesn’t use the bsky relay/appview. Looking at whtwnd it appears to be just web and not native apps?
I would like to host my own PDS and access bsky through a native app using third party relay+appview, but I haven’t seen a way to do this yet.

Already on my wishlist apparently, I remember seeing some early gameplay footage and being sold on multiplayer combat with a ship that seems to act like a mobile base.
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 3 weeks ago:
Yes this and also scrubs and smart tests. I have 6 14TB spinning drives and a long smart test takes roughly a week, so running 2 at a time takes close to a month to do all 6 and then it all starts over again, so for half to 75% of the time, 2 of my drives are doing smart tests. Then there’s scrubs which I do monthly. I would consider larger drives if it didn’t mean that my smart/scrub schedule would take more than a month. Rebuilds aren’t too bad, and I have double redundancy for extra peace of mind but I also wouldn’t want that taking much longer either

- Comment on "Stringy" parts 4 weeks ago:
Since you want to avoid supports and cleanup, what I would do is modify the model to flatten out the inside of the dome. You can do it easily in most slicers by adding a cylinder part and squishing it until it’s more like a disc.
A flat roof to the inside of the dome will cause it to switch to bridging for that section which won’t be perfect but will be a lot better than stringing, especially if you play around with thick bridges.

- Comment on There should be something like a flea market where hobby gardeners go to share sprouted seeds 1 month ago:
If it was only the fee then it would be perfect for trading seedlings but you have to reserve a booth for the whole season and pay a fine if you’re late setting up your booth any of the days it runs.
In other words, like I said our farmers market is only for businesses. If you go stand in the corner and trade seedlings then you’ll probably get kicked out
- Comment on There should be something like a flea market where hobby gardeners go to share sprouted seeds 1 month ago:
Our local farmers market unfortunately only really allows vendors and requires an application process - ie you can’t just hang out and trade seedlings and stuff with people without paying a booth fee so it’s really only for people doing it as a business.
- Comment on Self hosted place check-ins 1 month ago:
Immich is pretty good for this if you take pictures at each location. It has a global map that shows all your photos with a heatmap-style display and a drawer that shows a grid of the photos within your viewport as you can and zoom around. It doesn’t seem like you can view a specific album on the map currently but you can at least filter the map to favorites or a date range.

- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 months ago:
The other servers do cache the content for some time yes, but if your server is based in a country not friendly to your posts then you are vulnerable to takedowns as you say.
The benefit I’m saying we have in the fediverse is that you can pick a server in a politically safe area (ie outside Turkey in this case), so they are less likely to comply, especially if they are small or don’t care about being blocked by that country (that’s usually the only thing they can do unless you have an office or staff there that can be arrested - less likely to be the case if your server is run by some dude in another country).
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 months ago:
I’m saying that if your home server (mastodon.social) is outside of Turkey, then there is less reason for them to comply in the first place because they only risk the mastodon.social server being blocked in Turkey. That one is a bad example because they’re one of the largest, so if you want to be extra safe, you’d want to pick a server that isn’t so big so that they are less likely to care about complying with some other county that they might not have any users from.
If the server you use is based inside the country that has a problem with your content, then you’d be screwed - though all the other servers will still mirror and cache your content for a bit even if you get taken down.
The resiliency lies in the fact that you can choose to register in a country that is politically friendly towards your posts or if your home country is friendly but you want to avoid being taken down, you can self host a single user instance and refuse any requests from other countries.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 months ago:
The difference is that if your home server is outside of Turkey then you can tell them to kick rocks. Bluesky probably complies because they don’t want to be blocked from Turkey. In a truly decentralized system like activitypub, only the server hosting the account / content in question risks being blocked, which means almost nothing the closer you get to a single account instance. Meanwhile every other server not in Turkey would not notice a difference.
- Comment on Self hosting and HSTS preload domains 2 months ago:
I use a .dev and it just works with letsencrypt. I don’t do anything special with wildcards, I just let traefik request a cert for every subdomain I use and it works. I believe letsencrypt must ignore HSTS for validation because I use the tls challenge which works on port 443, so I don’t think port 80 is required, but I still forwarded it so I can serve an http->https redirect since stuff like curl and probably other tools might not know about HSTS.

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree then, I don’t think that is at all the obvious interpretation and I don’t think everyone needs to clarify where they live when talking about it to “avoid the issue”.
Imo if people making assumptions about others living in the US annoys you then you should find it more annoying when someone assumes where you live AND assumes you intended to be presumptuous about it.
- Comment on Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits 2 months ago:
Is it wrong to want to talk about the place you live in without telling people where you live? Should everyone be required to state the place they live in any time they talk about it? I don’t really see what the problem is with speaking about your place of residence without revealing where you live. I don’t get how not mentioning where you live means you assume everyone knows. Maybe you not knowing is intentional.
While I think it’s annoying when people assume others live in the US, I think it’s even more annoying to both assume people who don’t mention where they live must live in the US and also assume they intended you to know that they live in the US.

Doesn’t “as a city” just tell you who the “we” refers to? As in “we, the people of our city, need x”? That’s how I understand it.

- Comment on Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Rust) 2 months ago:
Gotcha thanks for the info! It looks like I would be fine with ocis or opencloud, but since my main use case and pain points are with document editing which is collabora, it probably wouldn’t change much besides simplifying the docker setup (I had to make a gross pile of nginx config stuff pieced together from many forum help posts to get the nextcloud fpm container to work smoothly). But it already works so unless it breaks there’s little incentive for me to change.
- Comment on Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits 2 months ago:
I still don’t see how saying that you want x or y in your country is equivalent to talking like your community is the default.
I would totally agree if the statement was “we need x in my country and you all should vote for it” because that would be assuming everyone reading is able to participate and therefore lives there. But that’s far from what the statement was, which made no assumptions and didn’t even mention a country. All they said was that they want something in their country.
- Comment on Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits 2 months ago:
I agree it could be more clear, but I don’t think it’s fair to jump down their throat when they didn’t even mention the US. It just strikes me as an uncharitable interpretation.
- Comment on Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits 2 months ago:
Why are we assuming they’re talking about the US?
(Protip: It’s because we know they’ve assumed the US as the default country, since that’s a really common phenomenon)
I think that would be a valid complaint if they had actually lumped everyone in this thread into their statement by assuming that everyone here lives in the US by default, but I sincerely think that any charitable interpretation of their comment reads as “we” simply meaning “the people of my country”.
- Comment on Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits 2 months ago:
What part of their comment assumes that everyone else is from their country? I only see them referring to themselves and their own country.
- Comment on Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Rust) 2 months ago:
Ah I see, I guess at least that would help with the main UI, but I’m already using collabora through the collabora code server in next cloud so it sounds like I’ll probably have the same document editing experience with OCIS/opencloud. I used to use onlyoffice but after I tried out their mobile app, it started blocking me from editing documents using the next cloud app (which seemed to use the only office web UI) so I was forced to switch unless I started paying for onlyoffice.
- Comment on Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Rust) 2 months ago:
What are the apps that you would miss? I basically only use my NC as a Google drive and docs replacement, so all it has to do is store docx files and let me edit them on desktop or mobile without being glitchy and I’ve really wanted to consider OCIS or similar.
That second requirement for me seems hard because of how complex office suites are, but NC is driving me to my wit’s end with how slow and error prone it is, and how glitchy the NC office UI is (like glitches when selecting text or randomly scrolling you to the beginning).

As long as your thermistor or heater block doesn’t fall out you should be fine. But if you want to be safe, just set it to 200 and then turn it off before you unscrew it so that it won’t thermal runaway if it comes apart while working on it.
